Afghan Girl: The Moving Tale Of The Woman Behind The World’s Most Iconic Photograph
Controversy Surrounding the Picture
Some controversy surrounding the Afghan Girl reflects on the fact that the picture didn’t actually do anything good for the photographed girl or the refugee crisis in Afghanistan. While we now know that the shot actually drew important attention to some Third World social issues, some aspects should be taken into account.
The Afghan Girl is a pretty image to look at, but some people have displayed some concerns regarding the girl’s well-being. It was because Steve McCurry was never interested in knowing the girl’s name back then and that he also insisted on photographing the girl with her full face showing, something that went against her cultural values.
